  • Seano said: Yeah, I'd prefer little or no DIY as I just don't have the time to devote to it at the moment. There's too much to do outside on the new land acquisition! This one is pretty cheap but could be OK. Hard to know if it will do j…

  • Mitre 10 had a 100mm hole saw like that for $130...! And I need 110mm. Found this, a bit cheaper and the needed size: http://www.amazon.com/Milwaukee-49-56-0300-Hole-Saw-8-Inch/dp/B000CSQMB6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1431073962&sr=8-2&ke…
    in Cutting holes in tiles Comment by JohnR May 2015
  • Just removing the tiles (two actually) is one option that did occur to me... I was sorta hoping I could make it look better. I suppose I could remove the two tiles, then cut them up into pieces and glue them back on. I still don't know how to cut…

  • Seano, you want something built in a box, no DIY?

  • Nigel, what you need is a nice levitating chair like this. Perhaps you can get one delivered? I wish quoting random credit card numbers worked for me. You will have to tell me your trick. Although that might challenge the definition of "rando…

  • I've put this back up, but I can't be sure it's stable. I don't know what will happen over the next few days. FYI

  • Ah... got it. Hey if anyone is looking for a really great cordless drill, I ran across this.... http://www.festool.com.au/epages/tooltechnic.sf/en_AU/?ObjectPath=/Shops/tooltechnic/Products/767467/SubProducts/767467 They still have them…

  • Well I'm getting the hang of the impact driver. But now it's going to start raining again so the tarps are back up... X-( For the next few days I think playing with the new angle grinder for cutting up tiles would be a good thing. Does anyone k…

  • Er... OK I'll try. Two hands seems to be the best solution so far. Maybe I'm just a bit limp-wristed.

  • My roof is very wide. Metres in fact. New tool is a little harder to control than old tool. I think it goes too fast.

  • I got one! And a free bonus angle grinder - that will come in handy for trimming the gutters. (OK OK it wasn't actually free :-P ) I've decided I love Bosch. So far at least, they haven't resorted to cheaping out and making crap, but they don'…

  • GeeEmm said: I hear you John, but drinking coffee in coffee shops does get you out of the house. That is very true. One could well view the price of a coffee (or two, or...) as cheap rent for an alternate office. And that is my excuse.…

    in The price of beer (and coffee) Comment by JohnR April 2015
  • If you're not in a hurry, it might be worth setting up some searches on ebay for distance < 150 km (say). Things like iMacs seem to be often listed for local pickup only, which keeps the price down. I know you're not metro but you never know. (Ju…

  • After the trip up north for the funeral, I decided I could really use a pair of sealed portable headphones. I listened to PM-3s at minidisc and the sound was good, but not as good as HE-560s at home... aaannd I could hear the other people in the roo…
